Novel Techniques for Food Quality Analysis and Safety : Fundamentals, Scope, Feasibility, and Challenges

Novel Techniques for Food Quality Analysis and Safety: Fundamentals, Scope, Feasibility and Challenges, is the need of the current hour that reflects the growing demand to shift from conventional analytical approaches to emerging and rapid techniques for ensuring food quality and safety. Traditional food analysis suffers from limitations to speed, sensitivity, portability, and real-time decision-making. This book aims to bridge this critical gap by bringing together innovative analytical tools and technologies that are reshaping the future of food analysis.

Features:

· A systematic overview of the emerging techniques of food analysis.

· Fundamental principles are discussed in a manner that will allows to readers to grasp the working mechanisms behind novel analytical technique,

· A distinguishing feature of this book is its balanced treatment of theory and application.

· Recent research results and some pointers to future advancements in food analytical techniques.

This book is intended as a reference for academicians, as well as for researchers, scientists, and professionals working in food safety and quality control, further this book may also be used as text book for post graduate students of Food engineering /technology students.
